About Greyhound Rescue West England
2006 saw Greyhound Rescue West of England celebrate 10 years as a Registered Charity. GRWE was formed in 1991 and became a registered charity five years later. They operate mainly in the west of the UK but greyhounds come to them from all over the country. In the past 12 months GRWE has homed almost 500 dogs – an ever-increasing number as word about their work spreads.
Our Vision
GRWE will, through our work, be recognised as the leading independent charity operating in the field of rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of unwanted, abused or abandoned greyhounds.
Our Mission
GRWE will provide facilities to rescue and care for unwanted, abused or abandoned greyhounds in any part of the country if resources allow.
GRWE will provide an ongoing professional and caring service for all dogs taken into our care and placed into pet homes.
GRWE will support the promotion of improved greyhound welfare through our membership of the Greyhound Forum, the Association of Dogs & Cats Homes and any other appropriate body.
Our Values
GRWE will never willingly choose to put a healthy dog to sleep and will always strive to find appropriate homes for all dogs which come into our care.
GRWE will aim for the highest standards in our working relationships with volunteers and supporters, potential homes, suppliers and other persons or groups engaged in similar activity.
